Hrvatski nogometni klub Rijeka (English: Croatian Football Club Rijeka), commonly referred to as HNK Rijeka, is a Croatian professional football club based in Rijeka. The club competes in the Croatian Football League (HNL), the top tier of the Croatian football league system. Rijeka have played their home matches at Stadion Rujevica since August 2015.[1] Plans to replace or reconstruct the club's former home, Stadion Kantrida, remain under development; in June 2026 the City of Rijeka announced that it intended to pursue a new project with state support, but no agreement had yet been signed.[2] The club's traditional colours are white and blue.[3]

The club traces its origins to Club Sportivo Olimpia, a multisport organisation established in 1904 whose football activity is first documented in 1906.[4] Olimpia and Gloria merged in 1926 to form U.S. Fiumana. In 1946, S.C.F. Quarnero/Kvarner was formally constituted as a new legal entity but inherited players and elements of Fiumana's sporting tradition. Historians have consequently differed over the degree of institutional continuity and the appropriate foundation date.[5] The club adopted the name NK Rijeka in 1954 and HNK Rijeka in 1995. Rijeka have won two Croatian league titles, two Yugoslav Cups, seven Croatian Cups and one Croatian Football Super Cup. They won the Croatian league and cup double in 2016–17 and again in 2024–25.[6]

History

[edit]

1904–1926

[edit]

Club Sportivo Olimpia was established on 21 April 1904 as a multisport organisation during the period in which Rijeka, then commonly known as Fiume, formed a corpus separatum within Austria-Hungary. Its activities included football, tennis, swimming, cycling and athletics.[4] The earliest presently documented activity of its football section dates from 25 November 1906, which the club recognises as the beginning of its football history.[7]

Olimpia initially played at Scoglietto and subsequently used the ground at Kantrida. Its membership and playing staff reflected the multilingual population of the city and included people of Italian, Croatian, Hungarian and German backgrounds. A local rivalry developed with Club Sportivo Gloria, whose support was associated principally with the city's working-class districts.[8]

The club changed the spelling of its name from Olimpia to Olympia in 1918. Olympia and Gloria continued competing in regional competitions after the First World War. In September 1926, following changes to Italian football introduced under the Fascist government, the two clubs were merged to form Unione Sportiva Fiumana.[5]

1926–1945

[edit]

U.S. Fiumana began competing under its new name in 1926. The club won the Italian Coppa Federale in 1927–28 and competed in the top division of Italian football in 1928–29. It spent most of the following decade in the second and third tiers and won its Serie C group in 1940–41.

Official league competition ceased following the collapse of Fascist Italy in 1943. Fiumana continued to play occasional friendly matches during the German occupation. A number of its players participated in the partisan resistance, while several were imprisoned or deported to concentration camps.[9]

1945–1954

[edit]

After the Second World War, Fiumana briefly resumed activity through a trade-union representative team while the international status of Rijeka remained unresolved. In 1946, the Yugoslav authorities reorganised sporting organisations according to the physical-culture society model used elsewhere in the country.[10]

S.C.F. Quarnero, later also known by the Croatian name Kvarner, was formally registered as a new club in 1946. Historical research nevertheless identifies substantial sporting continuity with Fiumana: eight former Fiumana first-team players and one reserve-team player subsequently represented Kvarner, while the new organisation inherited the same principal stadium and much of the same support base.[5] The initiative was led by Ettore Mazzieri and Renato Tich, both of whom had been involved in the city's earlier sporting life.

Quarnero participated in the inaugural 1946–47 Yugoslav First League. As a physical-culture society it initially incorporated several sports in addition to football. In 1948, the football section became a separate club under the bilingual name S.C. Quarnero – N.K. Kvarner.

1954–1991

[edit]

In 1954, amid the Trieste riots and the decline of official bilingualism in Rijeka, the club adopted the monolingual name NK Rijeka.[5][11] The club began regularly using a white home kit during the 1957–58 season. Rijeka returned to the Yugoslav First League in 1958 and remained in the top division until relegation in 1969.

The club's greatest successes during this period are two Yugoslav Cup titles in 1978 and 1979 and a runner-up finish in 1987, when Rijeka lost the final in the penalty shoot-out.[12] The club never managed to finish the season higher than fourth place in the Yugoslav First League. In 1984, the club came closest to a Yugoslav championship title, finishing only two points behind Red Star Belgrade. Rijeka were also the best placed Croatian club in the Yugoslav First League in 1965, 1984 and 1987.[13]

1991–present

[edit]

Following the breakup of Yugoslavia, Rijeka became a founding member of the Croatian top division in 1992. In 1995, the club adopted its present name, Hrvatski nogometni klub Rijeka. Rijeka won their first Croatian league title in 2016–17, ending Dinamo Zagreb's sequence of eleven consecutive championships.[14] They won a second league title in 2024–25. In both championship seasons, Rijeka also won the Croatian Football Cup, completing domestic doubles. The 2024–25 cup victory was the club's seventh since Croatian independence.[6]

Rijeka narrowly missed the championship in 1998–99. In the final round, with Rijeka and Osijek level at 1–1, an 89th-minute goal by Admir Hasančić was disallowed for offside. Rijeka consequently finished one point behind Croatia Zagreb. A later three-dimensional reconstruction commissioned by 24sata concluded that Hasančić had not been in an offside position.[15] Nacional subsequently reported that state intelligence services had monitored football officials and journalists during the season; those allegations have remained part of the controversy surrounding the championship.[16]

HNK Rijeka in the European competitions

[edit]

By the 2026–27 season, Rijeka had entered UEFA club competitions in 26 seasons, including 14 consecutive seasons from 2013–14 onward.[17] The club's furthest progress in a UEFA competition was the quarter-final of the 1979–80 European Cup Winners' Cup, in which it lost 2–0 on aggregate to Juventus.[18] Rijeka also defeated eventual competition winners Real Madrid 3–1 at home in the 1984–85 UEFA Cup. In the return match in Madrid, Rijeka lost 3–0 after three of their players were sent off. One of those players, Damir Desnica, who had been deaf since birth, received a second yellow card for allegedly insulting the referee.[19]

In 2013, after winning 4–3 on aggregate against VfB Stuttgart, Rijeka qualified for the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League group stage.[20][21] Rijeka also participated in the 2014–15 UEFA Europa League group stage, where they defeated Feyenoord and Standard Liège and drew with title-holders and eventual winners Sevilla.[22][23][24] In 2017, Rijeka reached the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League play-off, where they lost 3–1 on aggregate to Greek champions Olympiacos, and automatically qualified for the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League group stage. In the group stage, they recorded a famous home win (2–0) against AC Milan.[25] In 2020–21 Rijeka reached the group stages of the Europa League for the fourth time in eight years but once again failed to progress to the knockout stages. In 2021–22, 2023–24 and 2024–25, Rijeka was eliminated in the play-off round of the Conference League.[26][27][28] In the 2025–26 UEFA Conference League, Rijeka defeated Omonia 4–1 on aggregate in the knockout phase play-offs to reach the round of 16, where they were eliminated 3–2 on aggregate by Strasbourg after a 1–2 home defeat and a 1–1 away draw.[29]

Private ownership

[edit]

In February 2012, Gabriele Volpi – an Italian businessman and the founder of Orlean Invest, as well as the owner of football club Spezia and water polo club Pro Recco – injected much-needed capital into the club. With the privatization process complete by September 2013, Volpi, through Dutch-based Stichting Social Sport Foundation, owned 70% of the club, with the City of Rijeka in control of the remaining 30%.[30][31] On 29 December 2017, it was announced that chairman Damir Mišković, through London-based Teanna Limited, acquired the majority stake in the club from Stichting Social Sport Foundation.[32][33]

Record transfers

[edit]

In January 2015, Rijeka sold their star striker Andrej Kramarić to Leicester City for a club-record transfer fee of £9.7 million.[34]

Stadium

[edit]
The Kantrida stadium in season 1921–22. At the time, the field was named Campo Sportivo Olimpia, as per the club's original name.
Rujevica stadium, NK Rijeka's current home.

The club's early teams played at Scoglietto before moving to Stadion Kantrida, which became Rijeka's principal home ground. Apart from a period of renovation between 1947 and 1951, Rijeka remained at Kantrida until July 2015. Since August 2015, the club has played at Stadion Rujevica, an all-seater stadium within its training complex. The stadium has 8,191 seats.[1]

Several proposals have been advanced for a new or reconstructed stadium at Kantrida. A privately financed proposal unveiled in 2023 included a stadium, residential towers, a hotel and other commercial development. In June 2026, the City of Rijeka announced that it was moving away from that proposal and instead intended to seek a new design and pursue joint public financing with the Croatian government. At the time of the announcement, negotiations were continuing and no financing agreement had been signed.[2]

Support

[edit]

Rijeka's ultras group is called Armada Rijeka, or simply Armada. The group has been active since 1987, but some forms of organised (albeit not registered as associations) support were present and following the club already in the decades before, with the earliest reported in the 1920s.

The Supporters of HNK Rijeka are mainly from Primorje-Gorski Kotar and Istra

The club reported a record 18,439 members during the 2025–26 season, an increase of approximately 2,500 from the previous season.[35]

Rivalries

[edit]

Rijeka's greatest rivalry nowadays is with Hajduk Split. Since 1946, the Adriatic derby has been contested between the two most popular Croatian football clubs from the Adriatic coast. Other rivalries exist with major clubs in Croatia like Dinamo Zagreb and a milder with Osijek. The primary regional derby (Derby della Učka) is with Istra Pula. The origins of the Rijeka–Pula rivalry date back to the clashes between Fiumana and Grion Pola since the late 1920s. The city derby with Orijent is probably the oldest, with its roots in the clashes between CS Olimpia and CS Gloria against Orijent and the other more successful in those early years Sušak-based club, Victoria.
